Complexity is your enemy. Any fool can make something complicated. It is hard to keep things simple.
Richard Branson
Know thyself.
Socrates
This is my work mantra. Complex issues and difficult messages always have a simple heart. My job is to find that shining core and make it known.
This holds true to most things in life. We’re often beset by complications and hard decisions. Other people twist and turn us about with their expectations. One course of action looks as good as the next. We’re not confident of making the right decision. We don’t know what to do.
Courage and trust are your tools to sweep away the clutter. Have the courage to tell yourself the truth. It’s not as easy as it sounds because you want to be a nice person and the truth may make you feel otherwise. Have the courage to tell people the truth. Accept that they may not take it well.
Do not trust that you’ll make the right decision. Trust that you will make the most out of whatever you decide.
All these complications pale against your strength of heart. Find it and make it known.
